Presentation Editor

Drop it in, then nudge it until it lines up.

Nothing to download or install.

A searchable palette down the left: slides, text, shapes, media, data. One click and it lands on the slide.

What Goes On A Slide

Put a chart, a table, or a video on the slide.

Everything a real deck needs past text and shapes: charts, tables, video that plays, and crop and effects that survive the export. Animations for motion, a slide master for structure.

Bar, line, pie, and donut, built inline and exported to PPTX as a real chart.

Point a chart at a spreadsheet range and it stays linked to the Sheet.

Insert a table and edit any cell inline. It renders in both exports.

YouTube, Vimeo, a direct file, or an iframe, playing live even while you present.

Crop non-destructively, then add opacity, radius, border, and shadow. It survives PPTX.

Entrance, emphasis, and exit animations, over a master whose layouts cascade to every slide.

Create & Import

Start blank, start from a file, or start from a prompt.

Bring in a .pptx and keep editing it, or describe the deck and get one back. Templates arrive already carrying your colours, and merge fields fill themselves from live records.

Blank Presentation

A title, and the editor opens on a title slide with autosave running.

PPTX Import

Upload a .pptx and it opens as a native deck you keep editing, not a file you can only look at.

AI Generate

Describe the deck and get slides back with titles, bullets, and speaker notes.

AI Outline

Approve the titles and bullets first. Edit or reorder them, then generate.

AI Improve & Inline

Rewrite any slide text for clarity, tone, or brevity, from the menu or on a selection.

Present & Scope

Play the animations. Keep your notes off the wall.

Full screen plays your animations a step at a time and skips what you marked as skipped. Presenter View lives on your own display with the notes, the next slide, and a running clock.

Open on the Ledger summary. Hold the pipeline slide until they ask about Q4.

P penL laserX clear

A laser that follows your cursor and a pen in seven colours, on keys you can hit mid-sentence. Neither is ever written back into the deck. And a read-only snapshot feeds the Display app, so a lobby screen runs the same presentation without anyone carrying a file to it.

A deck can belong to a record

Deal

The pitch sits on the opportunity, not in a folder.

Proposal

The client-facing deck sits on the proposal record.

Lesson

Training decks stay on the University lesson that teaches them.

Collaboration & Delivery

Invite by name, or publish to a link.

Two separate things that never bleed into each other: invite people by email at view, comment, or edit, or publish a read-only page anyone can open and you can revoke.

Sharing

Invite by email at view, comment, or edit. Change or revoke it in place.

Publishing

A link anyone can open, with a QR code. Unpublish and it stops working.

Comments

Threads beside the deck. Comment access without edit access.

Send to Interact

Hand the deck to Mail, Inbox, Live, or a channel post. No download.

Presence

Everyone with the deck open shows in the toolbar, so nobody rebuilds the same slide twice.

Export, Versioning & Themes

Send it out as a file, or put it back how it was.

PDF, PPTX, and Print from one screen, rendered on the server so what leaves matches what you built. Every save is kept, so an earlier version is one click away.

PPTX comes out as real editable objects rather than flattened pictures, with crop, border, and shadow intact. PDF renders at the deck’s own aspect, footed with your business name and a slide number. Confidential decks carry a stamp naming who exported them. And the paintbrush repaints the whole deck from your brand kit.

Questions about Calisto Slides

Text, shapes, charts, tables and video on one canvas, with object animations, a slide master, presenter view, and a laser and ink while presenting. It exports to PPTX or PDF and comes back looking like what you built.

Yes, from a prompt, and then edit it like any other deck. Generation is a starting point rather than the product.

A deck can be published to Display, so the same presentation runs on the signage you already operate rather than being exported and re-uploaded.

PPTX imports with layout and content. The slide master is usually rebuilt, which is also the opportunity to make the brand consistent.

The pricing section on this page reads the live catalogue and is the authority. Slides works without the rest of Calisto Work.

PPTX or PDF per deck, plus bulk export from the shared store.
